Poker Hints - Differences Between Online and Offline Poker

Now, a considerable part of poker players prefer playing poker online to live play. The most generally referred to benefits are:

no commute

no tipping

the action is quicker and more hands can be played in an hour

you can have different deposit bonuses

you can play 24 hours a day

a great variety of games to play

no second-hand smoke

you can play at several tables simultaneously

you don't need to go anywhere.

Also, those playing Internet poker should mind the following features of it, which can affect your strategy and game-style:

Playing sessions are shorter. Players move in and out of the game much more often then they would do in a live play. Thus, you usually don't play with the same opponents for long.

Internet environment - it has been noted that people, when playing on the Internet, are usually more tricky and deceptive, than in a live play. That is because it is impossible to read your opponents faces - and very easy to hide yours. And to raise or bet you have just to clik!

Internet distractions - most commonly, people do not devote themselves to playing poker only. Usually, they can indulge in other things (e.g. net-surfing, reading e-mails, etc.) at the same time - or play at several tables at the same time. That's why Internet players are usually less attentive, and do not follow the course of the game as close as in a live poker game.
